Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Give four ways of reducing the fat in a recipe.

    Model answer

    Fat in a recipe can be reduced by grilling, baking or steaming instead of frying, by trimming visible fat from meat, by using lower-fat dairy products, and by measuring oil rather than pouring it.

  2. 2

    Give three ways of reducing the salt in a recipe without losing flavour.

    Model answer

    Salt can be reduced by seasoning with herbs, spices, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, by reducing the amount gradually so that the palate adjusts, and by choosing lower-salt versions of stock, sauces and processed ingredients.

  3. 3

    Give three ways of reducing the sugar in a recipe.

    Model answer

    Sugar can be reduced by cutting the quantity gradually, by sweetening with fruit purée or dried fruit, and by adding cinnamon, vanilla or other spices that give an impression of sweetness.

  4. 4

    Give four ways of increasing the fibre in a meal.

    Model answer

    Fibre can be increased by using wholemeal flour, bread, pasta and brown rice, by leaving the skins on potatoes and fruit, by adding pulses to soups, stews and mince dishes, and by adding extra vegetables.

  5. 5

    What is coeliac disease?

    Model answer

    Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition in which eating gluten damages the lining of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of nutrients.
